Not to give her ticket she paid for?

whatdoidorr · 15/01/2020 12:20

My "friend" last year caused a lot of trouble for me and refused to pay back a large sum of money.
We were meant to go on holiday but she stopped me from going (after I paid ) as she had the tickets.
Like the fool I am I forgave her.
Me ,her and another girl bought tickets to see a band in April.
I ordered the tickets on my card but she paid.
Anyway she's fell out with me again and has been telling lies about me to this other girl.
This other girl has told me I'm no longer welcome to go to this concert with them and will I post their two tickets.
Now il happily post this girls ticket but my "friend" owes me £400 and now she's made sure I can't go to this concert with them out of spite.
What do I do ?

still interested to know who paid for the tickets though. As PP said if B paid for two, you really ought to send her two.

Motoko · 16/01/2020 15:04

Yeah, B is not the nice person you thought she was. In fact, quite the opposite, she sounds quite nasty.

angieloumc · 16/01/2020 15:08

I'm sorry you're feeling low but as a pp said you need to respect what she said.
She has obviously listened to what the other 'friend' said and made her mind up so no matter what you say it won't make a difference.
What about trying to speak to the other friend who will be going to the concert now?

olivertwistwantsmore · 16/01/2020 15:10

Friend B is no friend. She's a shit.

Find some new friends who will appreciate you. Flowers

mummmy2017 · 16/01/2020 15:20

OP said everyone paid for their own tickets.
But she got stiffed by A for about £600.
Hence why saying send no tickets, sell or go with her own friends, as why bother to see such nasty people.

whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 15:21

Yeah I don't think friend B is.
If it wasn't for me they wouldn't have even got the tickets as I got through ticket master and they couldn't.
I've helped friend B out and did her favours and that's the thanks you get.

Yeah this concert everyone paid for own tickets but friend A wouldn't let me go on holiday after I paid and she owes me money that she won't pay.
Stupidly I was going to forget about that just so I had a friend but after she's did this again and trying to turn everyone against me.

mummmy2017 · 16/01/2020 15:25

Can you sell the tickets?
Are they sold out?

AllHeart1 · 16/01/2020 15:27

I don’t get this idea that you have the tickets and they get to decide who goes? You need to develop a backbone here OP. You have the tickets, therefore you get to go to the concert.

As friend owes you money write to the other one and say to her that you’ll refund her money for the concert and have now decided to go with someone else instead. Job done.

I don’t see what’s so hard about that. All this trying to reason with this one and that is just far too needy when you’re not going to get the outcome you wanted.

Just bin them and they get to miss out of the concert.

AllHeart1 · 16/01/2020 15:29

Stupidly I was going to forget about that just so I had a friend but after she's did this again and trying to turn everyone against me. Sorry OP but you’re sounding desperate. These people aren’t your friends, even if you do them a million favours they’re not your friends.

You need to concentrate on finding better friends because these aren’t them.

Bibijayne · 16/01/2020 15:32

Refund the ex-friend who does not owe you money. Sell all three tickets or go to the concert with two other people (actual friends) or sell one ticket and go with another person as a duo.

Do not post these horrible harpies the tickets.

Then, when it's all done. Lose their numbers and block them on social media.

Bibijayne · 16/01/2020 15:33

What @AllHeart1 said

BackOnceAgainWithATinselHalo · 16/01/2020 15:44

Why did you send that super needy text to someone who has made very clear they dislike you? It’s a strange reaction, obviously she has no interest in speaking to you so why put yourself in a position where she can/you make her say so directly.

What have you said about the tickets? Keep it about them, get your money and move on.

AllHeart1 · 16/01/2020 15:51

Ok, having read through a bit more of the thread now I’m intrigued.

For someone to do that much of an about-turn on a friendship that they essentially tell you to ring someone else whatever it is they believe about you must be pretty bad. Is this really as one-sided as it’s being portrayed here?

I understand you don’t want to give them the tickets and that’s your prerogative, but for someone to tell you you’re no longer welcome at the concert and that they no longer want to even hear from you I can’t help wondering what more there is to this that you’re not posting here.

whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 15:56

I only met friend B through friend A.
She did not like me getting involved with her friend and socialising with her.
There really isn't anything else to it..I wish there was,at least I could understand her deep hatred.
Her own sister (doesn't speak to her ) messaged me saying she knows she's a snake and invited me to her wedding (where her sister (friend a) isn't welcome

Spelunking · 16/01/2020 16:10

Please stop contacting these people. They aren’t friends and you are just giving them more ammunition to bitch about you. Send B a refund and sell both tickets on if possible. Don’t try to contact her and do not give her the ticket as she will probably ruin the event for you. Don’t get in touch with A - she can swivel. She has no intention of paying back any money and is not worth bothering with. Block the pair of them and try and find some real friends. I know it hurts but it’s best to just cut your losses and act with dignity.

TrueFriendsStabYouInTheFront · 16/01/2020 16:21

Please send a refund cheque to friend B, but do it right before the concert so she can't get another ticket! Don't post any for the love of god, pretty sure they will go 'missing' and you'll get accused of never posting them just for added drama

angieloumc · 16/01/2020 16:22

Come now OP, your last post shows you do like the drama. Saying A has a 'deep hatred' for you; why, if you thought that, would you even want to speak to her.
And adding the sister to the mix, do you not realise that by attending her wedding, that there's going to be even more drama? Of course you do.

BumbleBeee69 · 16/01/2020 16:56

Christ almighty.. just Sell the tickets already OP Confused

AllHeart1 · 16/01/2020 17:23

So friend b messaged you out of nowhere saying you weren’t welcome at the concert with no explanation?

Come on OP there is definitely something you’re not telling us here. What did friend A say to friend b to make her cut you off so spectacularly?

And I agree clearly you’re loving this drama after all friend A has already stopped you going on holiday once (why?) then her sister invites you to the wedding instead of her who she’s apparently cut off? (How are you friends with the sister as well?) and now you’re giving in to someone telling you you’re not welcome at a concert you have the tickets for.

Jesus OP get a bit of self respect. You’re not ten year olds.

beautifulstranger101 · 16/01/2020 17:46

Flog the ticket but FGS cut off contact with this person.

Why are you even bothering with her when she owes you £400 and is slagging you off behind your back? why on earth would you want to stay friends with a person like this? Bin her off.

Goldenmother · 16/01/2020 17:46

I would give both girls back the money they paid for the concert and find others to go with why you should you have to go alone

MyHeartIsInCornwall · 16/01/2020 17:52

Please do not make any more contact with either of them. Post B her ticket and let that be the end of that waste of time. A is a total narcissist! Sounds like they’ve both done you a favour to be honest!

Jack80 · 16/01/2020 17:52

I would give the girl the ticket and offer to go with her, ask the girl to buy yours or sell yours and your so called friends ticket. You could see if a family member wants to go in place of your so called friend.

TheresWaldo · 16/01/2020 17:54

Dear Lord! It was said miles upthread. Send B her ticket as she's paid for it. Sell A's to your friend in lieu of the money she owes you. Tell them both to fuck off.
